Moreover, trees are often planted with a wish for peace.

It carries the hope that "everyone who participated in the wedding will lead a peaceful, wonderful, and happy life."

Popular choices for the trees to plant include the Ficus retusa, known as the "tree of happiness," the Umbrella tree, which symbolizes marital love, and the laurel, which conveys the message "I will not change until I die," among others.

How to do the Tree Planting Ritual 1: Have guests add soil

When the wedding ceremony begins, take the pot that guests added soil to...

The bride and groom will then pour a bit of water into it.
